The number of source code lines in a .cxx file is as such not that relevant a factor determining resources consumed when compiling a source file. After all, the number of source lines *included* from headers during the compilation can easily be much more. The complexity of the code (especially so-called template-based metaprogramming) can be a much larger factor.
As such, personally I also dislike the split of source code into numbered source files. It has been done a long time ago when computers were much much less powerful. But the main thing that speaks against re-combining source code files that clearly "belongs" together into one source file is the loss of (easy) access to version history. --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
